[Jenny related innuendo].



All righty - this was basically an inevitability. Can we *not* go here?

Yes, Jenny is a brothel madam - but going straight to the edge of the line of acceptable smut is a swift way to ensure I'm going to have to hover over the forums to ensure it doesn't cross the line and get gross. (I want to create gorgeous content for you, don't make me sit here.)

Anyway - she's so much more than that. She's fascinating. Cool. That's the least interesting thing about her.

TL;DR: Let's not.

The Tiger Keeper is a good choice, but you should remember that he was just recently overthrown by his ratty entourage and his breath smell of antelope.

If I become mayor, is that like being "volunteered" to become a relicker for Mr Cups? Are you all trying to get me to travel with a tiny rat friend and collect weird scraps- because honestly that sounds like a great time.

You have won my vote Estelle. Absimiliard was rescued from the zee by a ship-captain once married to her -- though he is long dead now -- she is as close as my character comes to having a mother-figure in their life.

Absimiliard has never refused to give her glim to help her cause.

There is no one else they could vote for.

    Thinking about that, using your social actions to describe being a relicker . . . that does sound like fun! It's a really great excuse to do one-scene long vignettes with literally everyone you could find. You could even just start talking to random people in the 'Who Else is Here' section. And I really do like the various rats, getting to RP them would be glorious.

    Pity I can't switch my vote back, I'd vote for Mrs. Brite, the Relicker Mayor of London!

    Well, the Duchess, at least, wasn't the orchestrator of the Second City's betrayal-- not as I understand it. That can be credited to... Mr Veils.

    Oh goodness, how plentiful have our options become. I am torn.
    The Soft-Hearted Widow is a fair candidate, but perhaps the Duchess could bring about the return of that delightful Egyptian aesthetic sense. I just might go with the Duchess, trusting the prospect that she shall lead alley cats and tigers into finally overruling this city. But oh, how the Masters would shudder.

    I voted for the Tiger Keeper at least partly because I love tigers, but honestly I'd be good with NiteBrite as our new, meticulously groomed Overlord.

    I must approve my own position on the list, even if I must be alarmed at the idea of maniacal seekers wishing the foul object of their desires be made mayor of London! Vote for myself and the LNP! Public Work Schemes! A reinvigorated military! Greater suffrage! And end to devilry! The 10 hour working day! Minimum wages! Legal Workers Unions! Churches built! Orphans housed!

    I think that the Tiger Keeper--stern, majestic, powerful--would be the best mayor for such a hot bed of scum and villainy as Fallen London.

    Y'know, I actually expected Nitebrite to have more votes - and so I wanted someone else to get some recognition and voted for one of my *other* favourite forum members instead. ^_^

    Edit: There we go. (Nitebrite had 0 votes at time of writing my comment originally.)

    NiteBrite, congratulations! This election is now closed and NiteBrite the new mayor. I suggest all those who wish to bribe the new mayor do so with rats.

    ETA: After some complaints about the voting system, it seems like there will be a third and final round with only the highest ranking two candidates. As with the French presidential, it means that the winner will be the one who managed to get more than fifty percent backing (of the people who bothered to show up.) So if congratulations are in order, they go both to NiteBrite and Mr Eaten, who have both made it to the final round.

    The Tiger Keeper knows ALL the secrets. Even the Enigmatic ones. And with his knowledge of dangerous beasts and how to contain them, his deadly claws and teeth, and his willingness to chat while passing a hookah, he is honestly all I've ever wanted in a mayor.
